how much oil does it use when you are riding? If it doesn't use too much don't worry about it. Shoot for around 100-125 miles to a quart in normal trail riding conditions.
 
First Thanks for responding I was suprised noone knew this one! 2nd I have not ridden it much only 50 miles after I bought it last year! I just do not understand what to do I am out of adjustment & it is not like a bicycle brake where you just loosen up a nut & pull the cable down & re tighten! But man it realy smokes I know it is warm but man oh man!
